It is inappropriate to have arms manufacturers associated in any way with the Australian War Memorial. The AWM is about honouring the ultimate sacrifice of Australian men and women in war. War should in no way be mythologised by arms displays or sponsors’ branding.
In Victoria, Liberal and Labor reckon it's only 'corruption' if it's a 'crime.'
In NSW, a serious breach of public trust is enough.
One test catches misconduct. The other catches nothing.
The major parties built it this way. We need independents to fix it.
Truth bombs incoming. 💣🔥💣🔥💣🔥
The Australian’s Editor at Large Paul Kelly argues that Pauline Hanson is completely unequipped to be Prime Minister, urging voters to use common sense and look closely at her political limitations.

This morning our co-CEO Leanne Minshull helped launch a public inquiry into AUKUS!
Australians deserve transparency and should not be asked to simply accept a project of this magnitude without scrutiny.

This Australian airbase at Katherine in the Northern Territory is being extended and expanded for $2.8 billion — as a base for six of America’s nuclear-capable long-range bombers.
Farewell sovereignty.

Just a reminder: when Barnaby Joyce joined One Nation, Pauline Hanson received a $100,000, 42.5% pay rise, due to One Nation getting enough MPs to be classified as a minor party.
Yesterday, she stated that she would not support a 6% raise to the minimum wage.
At last! An independent public inquiry into the fiasco that is AUKUS.
A great team of Commissioners led by Peter Garrett. As days go by the problems, changes and complexities multiply.
Why are we spending $368b to appease Trump and attack our most important trading partner?
We’re obsessed with the idea that poor people might take more than they need, but we never question why the super rich are never satisfied with what they already have.
The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Putin and his accomplices in the abduction of Ukrainian children. This is a global case – and it must have global consequences. Everyone who commits crimes against children must truly feel that this is wrong.
Today, we have new sanctions against those who abduct children and try to normalize it. And the pressure on Russia must not ease. Sanctions work. And the world has power. Please use it right.
From an address to the International Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children (3/3).
🇺🇸RUBIO:“The Strait of Hormuz does not belong to Iran; they have no right to close it.”
🇮🇷IRAN: “The Strait of Hormuz is Iranian territory and will only be opened by order of our leader Khamenei, not by the tweets of an idiot.”
Brilliant response🔥🔥
